Jon Hammond Show 07 25 2026

I want to thank you all for tuning in.

We're going to kick off the show with something that we did in Osaka, Japan in a very interesting organ lounge club.

that I was surprised when we got there.

I found that it was called rug time.

I had been told it was called Lag time, and we think that perhaps they might have originally meant rag time, but there was on the marquee, larger than life, rug time, and there wasn't a carpet in the place when we got there, but there was a mint-conditioned Hammond B3 organ.

And I got to sit in with the nice cats there who play with the organist Midori Ono and our friend Osamu Yamamoto.

He provides the organ there and the guitarist you're going to hear on this track.

This is Hitofumi Noze.

And the drummer, his name, I can't pronounce it right now, but it's up on YouTube and Google Video.

Check that out.

That's the Rugtime clip, John Hammond, and that's John with no H, you know.

So check out our clip at Rugtime, and you'll see all the information of the musicians.

And this is one of my favorite old compositions.

The theme song from the movie The Sandpiper done as a bossa nova in Osaka, Japan at rug time.

Here I am at the P3 organ with the cats doing the shadow of your smile.

And it goes like this.

Oh.

Thank you.
